7. How much to be sequenced? 31,838 TIGR TCs vs. Finished BAC sequences (11.8 Mb) 1375 TCs (4.3%) If 11.8 Mb represent 4.3% of the euchromatic region, entire length would be 274.4 Mb. (29% of 950 Mb) BLASTN ≥100 bp, ≥97% Still underestimation?

8. Repeats in gene spaces 30,288 BAC ends vs. 14,229 repeat sequences (TIGR_SolAth_repeat, mips_repeat_collection, SGN repeat collection) 17,412 BAC ends (57.5%) hit repeat sequences. BLASTN E≤1e-10 Euchromatin could be longer because of dispersed type of repeats?

9. Observed problem HBa0127P15: Anchored to C2_At4g31130 (Verified) Finished length was only 39,599 bp, and did NOT contain the marker sequence. Repeat 1 2 3 4 1. λHind III 2. BAC/Not I 3. BAC/Xho I 4. 1 kb ladder The digested pattern indicates that the length of sequenced BAC is ~40 kb. Where did the marker go?

10. Possible problem caused by dispersed type of repeats We found the marker sequence in the shotgun library reads, but it was not incorporated into the finished assembly. Deleted clone was preferentially replicated in host cell? Deletion has occurred because of the repeat?

11. Possible complementary method in the later stage Extension by fosmid library (Information from J. Van Eck) Methyl filtration Selected BAC Mixture (SBM) shotgun 1.Select BACs whose end sequences do not contain undesired (repeat) sequences 2.Mix the BACs and sequence by shotgun BAC Repeat Gene space
